Unified Approach to Visualizations within the European Integrated Tokamak Modelling Framework
2013
Diverse visualization approaches are used for integrated fusion simulations in the scope of the European Integrated Tokamak Modelling Task Force (ITM-TF). In an effort to provide diversity and at the same time universality of visualizations for different backends, the ITMVis library provides a common description of custom visualizations contributed by users. Beside dedicated visualizations many ”standard” plots are used and are described within the ITM-TF data structure via an XSD schema that contains plot representation tags. From the representation tags one can generate standard plots for a specific computer language and visualization tool. Such an approach is used for the VisIt visualization tool, where a C++ code for all possible plots in the database is generated with an XSLT transform. Given that the same translation is needed by other tools in different languages to provide standard visualizations, an intermediate, easily interpretable plot description using XML was introduced. With this unified approach standard and custom plots are available for different backends such as VisIt and matplotlib.
